You have asked the REDEVELOPMENT City to extend the appeal period from August 16 (seven calendar days from the date of my recent letter of August 9) to August 23 in order to ..... acco,nmodate yuL~r business schedule: 'You are also aski.g for some clarification of the terms "primary retail sales" and "general public" as 1017 Middlefielrimentioned in the last paragraph on page 2 of the letter I sent you dated August 9, 2002. P.O. Box 391 Redwood City, Regarding your first question, the City grants you the extended time so as to accommodate your schedule with the hope that you find a satisfactory CA 94DB4-D391 resolution to the matter. Regarding the clarification of terms, the Zoning 'AX (650)780-0128Ordinance does not define "primary retail sales" and "general public". However, based on the intent and goals of the Central Business Retail TOD 1650)780-0129(CBR) Zoning District, pdmary retail sales essentially means that a www. redw00dcity, erg "significant amount" of the tenant space must be dedicated to retail sales. As a guide, the City has granted approvals for retail spaces in the CBR district consisting of approximately 80% retail, and the balance being used for storage and support uses. The City usually reviews each application ECONOMIC on a case by case basis. DEVELOPMENT 18581780-7233 The term "general public" is used to indicate that the any member of the I~ubfic can walk off the street and into your business to browse and/or purchase supplies. There are no limitations or restrictions as to the type of customer who may shop at your business. HOUSING 1650~ 780-7290 I hope this answers your questions.
